A colonial inheritance : Maltese perceptions of work, power and class structure with reference to the labour movement
Abstract
This study explores social perceptions found within a small country especially those of power and authority relations surrounding work activities and their wider social bases. It also examines whether any changes in these perceptions have taken place following a particular series of events. The specific conditions underlying such changes illustrate certain general principles and raise various questions with implications stretching far beyond the limited confines of the study. For these reasons, an attempt is also made to contribute somewhat to the substantial, if erratic, debate, about the developments of social class consciousness and, more generally, social imagery. ; peer-reviewed
